#The Hairless Mexican

[noirgasmweetheart]

Last night for my 36th birthday, my brain gave me an amusing dream.

I dreamed that I was watching a pre-code movie from the early '30s, with Peter Lorre. It had that fuzzy quality of movies from that era. Peter looked like his curly-haired General from "Secret Agent," minus the mustache. (Younger than Joel Cairo though.) He was wearing a plain gray suit and black necktie. And he was heavily pregnant.

The (other) father was a guy who didn't seem to be any actor I recognized, just a generic costar. Thin white guy around the same age as Peter here, a few inches taller, in a gray suit with a fedora.

They were at the hospital because Pete was having contractions. Pete was sitting in some weird proto-motor-chair. Or something. Both men were alight with excitement, showing no concern over where or how the hell this baby was supposed to come out.

Although I've never heard of a movie with this specific plotline, a pregnant man does seem like something a pre-code movie might do for shock value, that the bigoted Hayes Code would forbid. And Peter seems like the type of actor who'd star in something like that.

As for why I would dream this....I've never been pregnant, but I did just moved into a new apartment with a gorgeous film noir look to it, and I'm excited to begin a new phase in my life and start several creative projects. I suppose the dream reflects that excitement.

I’m not done terrorizing the tag yet. This one is mainly for me, because when I saw who the dub voice was for this one I had to look it up immediately. The name is not gonna mean anything to anyone outside of this small terrible country, but it’s Imre Csuja, who is currently famous for playing everyone’s favourite corrupt mayor (only in a TV show not in real life), who would rather be fishing then doing paperwork (and you know what I get it, I hate administrative work as well). So yeah, hearing his voice come out of the General is giving me whiplash lol.

The dub is fine-ish. I think there is just some weird technical issue, because it’s out of sync at times. Whoever was in charge, I have notes. Do better!! They also changed The General’s name for some reason to Alfredo Pantaleon Lopez Mendoza Dongozo (I could have used like Hungarian spelling to make this look worse probably, but I didn’t feel like it)… yeah I don’t get it either.

I will leave you all with this image from the TV show. No I will not be providing context. Good luck figuring it out~<3

I really like this, and the red color, and the vampire element (wow, it's a vampire again, but who would hate it). And the general is really handsome, well, it turns out that Lorre is so attractive with a beard.

After that incredibly fun 'which Peter Lorre character would definitely be a vampire' thread by @angelamontoo I finally had some time to sit down and draw the General from The Secret Agent as a particularly luxurious vampire.

I might be onboard with the General being Joel Cairo, before he came out of the closet. He has the same hair and pinky ring! His obsession with women is so over-the-top, it just reeks of a gay man overcompensating. I'm not sure I ever saw Cairo as a killer, but then again he was dating one.

His death was never confirmed by anything besides the Hayes Code. His loyalties were also never clearly established; he wasn't British. He was either on loan from an allied country, or a mercenary for hire. If the latter, then the hunt for the Maltese Falcon was simply another job for him.
